They (ETA: "they" = the NFL) were due for one, though. There hadn't been a legit SB blowout since 2003, though I certainly was not expecting this game to produce one, at least not one where the Seahawks were the winner. Then again I came of age in the 80s, and about half of those games were over by halftime, it seemed.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
